I ride a stationary bike every morning (mine is a Nordictrac), but I very specifically do NOT want some overly-enthusiastic trainer chirping at me while I do so. I also don’t want to pay a monthly subscription just to use a piece of equipment I already purchased. Just leave me alone and let me exercise in peace.
The experience varies... last workout I did with the same chick as last night was so good I bookmarked it. So maybe she saved up all her talking for yesterday's ride.
